I love almost anything with Tomatoes and cream so on a recent Tortellini with Tomato Sauce and Cream.  This is not noted as a prime Italian Restaurant but I thought I would try it. 

 When it was served it didn’t look at all what I was expecting just some Tortellini on a plate with some tomato sauce and a glob of Cream in the middle.  But once I started eating I was hooked.  It was very good…

 Visiting the gift shop afterwards I noticed they were selling little boxes of Tortellini… And, here I thought the Tortellini was so good it had to be hand made.  Visiting Commercial Mexicana I found the same stuff.  It’s a bright Yellow box called Barilla Tortellini de Queso.  It's normally 28 peso’s but its on sale quite often and you can stock up for around 20 peso’s.  It’s a very small box, but it expands a bit in the boiling water and you can feed 3 from one box.  This is sooo much better then the fresh stuff you buy at Sams Club or the market. 

 You will need a box of Tortellini,  a can of Hunts Spaghetti Sauce (or you can use traditional Rago if you like), and some cream. 

Boil some water….

And put the Spaghetti sauce on the stove.  ( don’t doctor it up,, its better plain ole Tomatoes)

When the Tortellini is ready (10 minutes) put it on individual plates,  pour the spaghetti sauce over it and then drizzle generously some cream over the top of the sauce. 

 That’s it… Simple, inexpensive, and something you can impress your friends with…. Try it…
